Hi Bill:
You indicated "studs" in plural. There is only one stud over which the tonneau
slides on the dash. There is one snap on each side, on the windshield posts and
one "lift the dot" type post in the center. Maybe someone has added some more.
Speaking of tonneaus, maybe the group will remember that I posted a problem of
my tonneau not being wide enough to extend over the doors and snap just below
the windows. I guess that was an added feature of some foresighted previous
owner of my previous tonneau. Anyway, I took the tonneau to Dayton, Ohio when
we visited my Father in law last week. We swung by an MG shop up there (on
Wilmington Road, for those of you who know Dayton) and picked up a matching
piece of material, and my Father in law sewed extensions onto the sides of my
tonneau so that I can add snaps to better secure the tonneau. I really like the
extended width, even without having added the snaps yet.

Subject: [Spridgets] Tonneau studs
Hello Spridgets,
I just obtained a tonneau for my '66. I'm lacking the studs
across the dash. The fasteners are say lift the dot, but
they are NOT tenax. I'm looking for recommendations as to
the kind and size studs to install. I see DOT sells 3/8" and
5/8", self threading and machine screw type. Any and all
advice welcome.
there are already holes
in the dash, just nothing there.
